Abstract:
The objective of this work was to observe representations of complex social environments through drawings and texts. We adopted Moscovici's theory, which supposes that the social representations phenomenon is a modern and democratic societies' manifestation. To overcome existing constraints/unequalities, we adopted drawings as a means of expression. We asked secondary students, self-defined as African-Brazilians, Mixed people and Whites, to drawn the classroom. The material was analysed according to manifest themes. There was statistical diferentiation on objects, spatial perspectives, teacher colleagues and student. Among high academic performer African-Brazilians we noticed more references to colleagues and conflict/negotiation with teachers.
